Li Yin said: "I have been doing the work of collecting war merits, but it is inconvenient for me to go out in person for other matters, and I ask Mr. to work more for me." ”

Song Zhengben bowed down and said: "Lingwu Gong rest assured, Zhengben will definitely do his best for this, and he will die!" ”

Li Yin nodded, and continued to turn around to look at the continuous rain outside the tent, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

If according to the development of history, the Li family can finally win the world even without Li Yin, and since they are involved in it at this time, it is nothing more than to make war merits for themselves, obtain political capital, and plan for their future.

Why did Li Shimin in history finally sit on the throne of the emperor, was it just because of the bloody Xuanwumen Change?

If you can't win the hearts of the people, and you can't win the support of hundreds of officials, after the change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin will not be able to sit on the dragon chair.

So, what does Li Yin have to do in order to win the hearts of the people and the support of hundreds of officials?

Ordinary people are so confused, it is relatively easy to win the hearts of the people, the test is nothing more than Uncle Liu's general acting skills, as long as he continues to do things that are beneficial to the people, and then hype the matter, in the long run, it is not difficult for the people to belong to him, even if a tragic coup d'état is launched, as long as he tells the world that he is really forced to make this decision, the people are afraid that they will sympathize with the person who launched the coup d'état, and shout for great happiness.

But Baiguan is not so easy to fool, but Li Yin does not want all officials to support him in the future, his goal is to obtain the support of most of the military generals, and then win the support of some civilian officials, so that it will be enough.

The rain in the east of the river was still falling, the roads were muddy, and the march was a little difficult, let alone conquering the city, so the Li family's army had to stay in Jiahu Fort, fortunately Song Laosheng did not send anyone to guard Jiahu Fort, otherwise if the army was camped in the wilderness at this time, it would be even more embarrassing.

But Li Yuan didn't wait, he kept writing letters to recruit rebels from all sides to join him, even Li Mi, Li Yuan also wrote a letter to him.

However, Li Mi believed that his army was strong and wanted to be the leader of the alliance, so Li Mi asked Zu Junyan to reply to Li Yuan.

Zu Junyan is the son of Zu Ting, a minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who is knowledgeable, has a strong memory, rich words, and quick thinking, and is quite famous.

Xue Daoheng, the servant of the ministry, once recommended Zu Junyan to Emperor Wen, and Emperor Wen said: "Did you kill the son of Hu Lu Mingyue with a ballad?" I don't want such people! ”

Hu Lu Mingyue is famous, Mingyue is its table word, is the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his daughter is the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty, high power, Zu Junyan's father Zu Ting in order to compete for power with Hu Lu Mingyue, composed a poem and said: "Hundred liters fly to the sky, and the bright moon shines on Chang'an." After Gao Wei, the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty, learned of this poem, he began to suspect Hu Lu Mingyue.

Zu Ting then composed a ballad: "The high mountain collapses, the mistletoe tree lifts, the blind husband carries a big axe on his back, and the troubled old mother is speechless." ”

In the ballad, "Gao Shan" refers to the Gao family of the Northern Qi royal family, and the ancient sound of "mistletoe" is like Hu Lu, the first two ballads naturally mean that Gao is going to be replaced by Hu Lu, and in the last two sentences, "blind husband" refers to Zu Ting himself, who was blinded by Gao Zhan when he was fighting for power with Gao Zhan, and "troubled old mother" refers to Lu Lingxuan, the nurse of Gao Wei (the original form of Lu Zhen in the TV series "The Legend of Lu Zhen").

The meaning of the last two sentences of this ballad is that once the Hu Lu clan gains power, Zu Ting and Lu Lingxuan will be implicated, and Zu Ting will put himself in a position of sharing worries with the country.

Gao Wei was most jealous of others hurting Lu Lingxuan, so he ordered Hu Lu Mingyue to be exterminated, and Zu Ting also leaned towards the government and the opposition. But after the death of Hu Lu Mingyue, no one in the Northern Qi could resist the Northern Zhou, and was soon destroyed by the Northern Zhou, Zu Ting killed Hu Lu Mingyue with songs has always been considered to be one of the reasons for the demise of the Northern Qi Dynasty, so Zu Ting was notorious, and even his son Zu Junyan was disliked by Emperor Wen of Sui.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was particularly disgusted with Zu Junyan's reputation, so that Zu Junyan could not be promoted after serving as a city commander for many years.

Zu Junyan was very conceited and talented, and was often depressed and unhappy, so after Li Mi was in turmoil in the Central Plains, he went to take refuge in Li Mi.

Li Mi knew about Zu Junyan's reputation very early, and was overjoyed when he got it, and regarded him as a guest, and entrusted him with all the case files and documents in the army.

At this time, Li Mi asked Zu Junyan to reply to Li Yuan and said: "Although my brother and I have different family branches, we have the same surname Li and the same roots. I think I am weak, but I am the leader of the alliance for the heroes of the world. I hope that you and I will support each other and work together to complete the great cause of catching Qin Ziying in Xianyang and exterminating Shang Xin in Muye, wouldn't it be prosperous? ”

Li Mi also wanted Li Yuan to personally lead thousands of infantry cavalry to Mengjin in Hanoi County, and the two of them concluded an alliance in person.

After Li Yuan received the letter, he said with a smile: "Li Mi is arrogant and arrogant, it is not a letter that can be recruited, our entry into the customs is at a critical juncture, if we immediately cut off contact with him, it is another enemy, it is better to use sycophancy to praise him, make him arrogant, let him block the way of Chenggao for me, contain the soldiers of the eastern capital, I can concentrate on the western expedition." In the pass, it was not too late to settle down, according to the danger and raise the prestige, and the battle between Xu Guan and the snipe was not too late to reap the benefits of the fishermen. ”

So he asked Wen Daya to reply and said: "Although I am mediocre and stupid, I am fortunate to inherit the merits of my ancestors, and all the wise men and gentlemen must blame the country for not coming out to help when the country is in trouble, so I have recruited volunteers on a large scale, and I am willing to help the world with you." All beings are born with a ruler, and who can you be if you are not the ruler of the people? I'm past the age of my fate, and I don't have this wish anymore. I am glad to support you, this is already climbing the scales, I hope you will fulfill the prophecy soon, so as to calm the people!

Duke Wei, you are the head of the clan alliance, and all my clan names must be accommodated by you. You have sealed me in Tang Land, such an honor is enough. I don't dare to say anything about the great cause of exterminating Shang Xin in Muye, and as for the matter of catching Qin Ziying in Xianyang, I don't dare to obey your orders. In the Fenjin area, I still need to appease and manage, and I can't take care of the date yet. ”

Li Mi was very happy when he received Li Yuan's letter, he showed the letter to his assistants, and said with a smile: "Even Tang Gong has recommended me, and the world will be easily pacified by us!" ”

In fact, Li Mi didn't know that Li Yuan was tricking him, and the reason why he said this was just to increase his prestige and inspire the morale of the soldiers around him by the way.

Moreover, Li Yuan's army can not only attract the attention of the government and the opposition, but also contain the troops in Guanzhong, which is also beneficial to Li Mi's capture of Luoyang.
